Spring brown diver setup?

[hookedupf7]

Curious I saw some guys post about running divers for early browns. Can anyone add some insight to this? Depths ? Diver size ? Slide divers? Wire or mono ? And leads?

I run slide divers 100 feet behind the diver.
Lot of guys do really well with jet divers.

Chinook divers size 2. Hit up Rich captain of crazy yankee. He does extremely well on spring browns with them

See pg 2 of this same "tackle and techniques" section. The post is titled "Spring Brown Trout on Chinook Divers 1/13".

For skinny water I run chinook divers. Size #2 in black (honestly not much of a difference with diver size and performance in less then 20 fow). I prefer to use my standard diver setups with 65# braid as opposed to wire this time of year. 12' fluorocarbon leader 10-12# test. And 99% of the time its a spoon on the money end. From rod tip to diver we will fish them 10-15 ft out.
